Your green turd, hahaha, that's a loving nickname. I actually recently bought this engine from a fellow stovebolter after the original 216 spun a rod bearing. Its a 1954 235 he completely rebuilt and delivered to me. Same front motor mounts made installing it easier. Used my old bell housing. The exhaust manifold is the angled type instead of the horizontal type so ill have to get the pipe re-bent. Other than that, she's pretty much ready to roll. Already ran her for a few seconds (after manually running the oil pump. Does anybody know how to time these engines? Is it just by feel, or can you put the timing gun to the flywheel? I also have the head off of a 1960 235 that should give me about 15 more horsepower due to the higher compression. It would need to be rebuilt, might swap it out in the future for a few more ponies.
